The toolkit

Everything a crafter needs

Built for how you actually craft — import from anywhere, sync with Ravelry, and take it all offline.

All three crafts

Knit, Crochet & Cross-Stitch

The only pattern manager that supports all your crafts in one place — including cross-stitch, which Ravelry doesn't cover.

Knitting Needles & gauge
Crochet Hooks & motifs
Cross-Stitch Charts & floss

Import from Anywhere

Share sheet, PDF with smart OCR, or paste a URL — name, designer, and thumbnail extracted automatically.

Importing a PDF pattern

Yarn Stash Tracker

Log every skein — brand, colorway, weight, yardage, care, and location. Scan a label and we find it on Ravelry automatically.

Yarn stash inventory

Full Ravelry Sync

Your entire library, favorites, queue, and projects — synced automatically and always up to date.

Instant Pattern Matching

Imported a PDF? We find the matching Ravelry listing and enrich it with ratings, photos, and yarn details.

Works Offline

Everything you browse is cached on device. Check details, specs, and stash anywhere — no Wi-Fi needed.

Discover Patterns

Search thousands of patterns across Ravelry. Filter by craft, weight, and difficulty — find your next project in seconds.

Row Counters

Track progress on any project. Multiple counters, repeating mode, linking, custom colours, and row alerts.

Palette Planner

Plan colour combos before you cast on. Add yarns from your stash or Ravelry, browse colorways, drag to reorder.

Private & On-Device

No tracking, no ads, no analytics. Your patterns and data stay on your device — we never see them.

No tracking No ads On-device
Cast-on to bind-off

Organise your stash

Log yarn with brand, colorway, weight, yardage & care. Scan a label to auto-fill from Ravelry, and plan colours with the Palette Planner.

Start a project

Link a pattern with yarn from your stash. Add notes, dates, size, and the hooks, needles & supplies you're using.

Count every row

Open the pattern PDF or web page in-app. Built-in row counters keep your place — with alerts for key rows and linked counters.

Finish & remember

Mark it done. Your project diary saves photos, yarn used, supplies, notes, and your own rating — a record of every make.
